Answer:
Each "shade" refers to a shaded region. All of them are below the boundary.
Verbal description of the image shown above:
Draw the solid boundary line through (0,4) and (2,0)
Shade below the boundary.
============================================================
Further Explanation:
To graph  we consider first the boundary line 
What happens when x = 0?
We can then say the point (0,4) is on the boundary line. This is the y-intercept.
What about when y = 0?
The x-intercept is (2,0) where the line crosses the x axis.
Plot the two points (0,4) and (2,0).
Draw a straight line through them.
This forms the graph of 4x+2y = 8
Note: 4x+2y = 8 solves to y = -2x+4.
Now to determine which side we shade on.
Let's pick a test point.
(0,0) is the easiest in my opinion.
You can pick any point you like as long as it's NOT on the boundary.
We arrive at a true statement at the end, which makes also true when (x,y) = (0,0).
We'll shade the entire side that contains (0,0)
Meaning we shade below the boundary.
In other words, shade each sub-region labeled "shade".
All of which are below the solid boundary line.
The boundary line is solid because of the "or equal to".
Points on the boundary -- such as (1,2) -- are in the shaded solution set.
